Death will bring no release for Rudolf...

NAZI SURVIVOR.

October 18, 1986

MUNICH, WEST GERMANY — NAZI SURVIVOR. Death will bring no release for Rudolf Hess. His son, Wolf, says in a magazine interview that the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France plan to cremate the body of the one-time deputy of Adolf Hitler when he dies in Spandau Prison and scatter the ashes before informing his family. ''I am not sure if this provision really will be enforced, but I have given up expecting humane treatment in view of the fate my father has experienced,'' Wolf Hess said. A spokesman for the Western Allies refused to comment. There is a precedent for such action. In 1946, the ashes of 11 top Nazis hanged for war crimes were disposed of in a river that was never named. Hess, 92, is permitted to see one family member for an hour once a month.
